My 87 yr old mo-in-law fell 2 mos ago. As a result, it was determined that several discs were almost touching. An ortho doc did a procedure to insert something between the discs to cushion them. While he was working, he found two holes in her bones in that lower back area. He did a biopsy then referred her to an onacologist for further testing. There is no cancer per blood tests. What could be going on?
that is up to the oncologist to find out. there are many causes for the holes including normal degeneration and osteoporosis as well as other types of cancer besides blood cancer.
